Henry Walters was born in Chicago in 1984 and grew up in Clinton, Michigan.

His poems, translations, reviews, and essays have appeared in periodicals such as The Threepenny Review, The Yale Review, Orion, Literary Imagination, and New Letters, and his first book, Field Guide A Tempo, was a finalist for the 2016 Kate Tufts Discovery Award. He lives in New Hampshire with his young family, a hive of bees, and a hawk.
